COFFEE TALK

Good morning! 

Welcome to this fine, mid-March Saturday.  I hope you already have your second cup of something warm and wonderful in hand.  I’m sending all the donut vibes your way. 

Let’s talk it out, Saturday-style. 

This is my new favorite teapot. I snatched it up last week and I am IN LOVE!  It is the perfect size for two and it cleans up so easily.  Mr. Pedantic and I primarily drink loose teas, so the fine mesh diffuser makes all the difference.  It was certainly the best $9 I have spent in a long time! 

While I was in beautiful IKEA-land, I also snatched up a package of these biscuits.  I am very much annoyed that I only bought one because they are so darn good and they make afternoon tea even more exciting. 

I sewed the first few stitches of my llama last night and I am so excited.  I’m also slightly concerned because her face may be a bit crooked.  Oops. 

Have you discovered the portrait camera setting on your iPhone?  Mr. Pedantic and I sat in a gelato shop for a half hour last Sunday taking pictures of each other and gasping in awe over the results.  I really love my iPhone 7.  #notsponsored

I am absolutely trying these french fries within the next few weeks.  In the past, I have made many a batch of french fries that took 3+ hours to soak, fry, and fry again.  I swore I was done with homemade french fries, but Deb has convinced me to give them a second chance.  

I am also intrigued by this bread.  Thoughts? 

In other news, I had my first iced coffee of the year yesterday and I am really happy about that. 

What does your weekend hold? 

 

Happy, happy Saturday!

Sincerely, 

Pedantic Foodie
